Strong resonance to newHighSpeedTurbo technology
One reason for the success of BOGE liesin the powerful innovative force of its products and services. BOGE ploughed extensive resources into the development of its newHighSpeedTurbo (HST) technology.Thanks to its high-efficiency compression principle and minimum energy use, the new technology has achieved results that were previously regarded as unattainable, not just in boosting efficiency but also in effecting decisive improvements that have successfully advanced the current state of the art. The award of a regional Innovation Prize for HST technology in the category ‘Industry and Trades’ marked an occasion for celebration at the end of the year. The jurybased its decision in part on the high degree of technical innovation and the great market potential.
